The Taliban in Afghanistan have written to a schoolgirl they shot to explain why they did it.

Although the Taliban commander said he found the attack "shocking" and wished he had warned her to stop criticising the group, he stopped short of condemning or apologising for the shooting.

"Taliban attacked you, was it Islamically correct or wrong, or you were deserved to be killed or not, I will not go in this argument now, let’s we leave it to Allah All mighty, He is the best judge," he said.

Hmmm "Allah is best judge"? I don't think it takes a god to work out that attempting to kill a teenage girl is wrong simply because she spoke. Actually from what I've heard of gods, they probably don't have the morals to make that decision.
